16×105

16x105 refers to a rifle cartridge, specifically a .16 caliber round with a 1.05 inch (26.67 mm) case length. This designation is part of a naming convention used in firearms to indicate the bore diameter in inches followed by the case length in inches. The .16 caliber is relatively uncommon in modern firearms, with calibers like .22, .30, and .50 being more prevalent. The 1.05 inch case length suggests a moderately powerful cartridge, likely designed for hunting or military applications depending on the era of its development and use.

Information regarding specific firearms chambered for 16x105 is scarce. It is possible this cartridge was a proprietary design for a particular manufacturer or a less widely adopted caliber. Cartridges with similar bore diameters and case lengths have existed throughout firearms history, often developed for specific purposes like varmint hunting, target shooting, or as standard military issue. The absence of widespread contemporary data suggests that the 16x105 may be an obsolete or niche cartridge, not commonly found in modern ammunition catalogs or firearm designs. Further research into historical firearm patents or specialized ammunition manufacturers might provide more detailed information on its origins and applications.
